Spring has definitely sprung here in the East Bay Area and it is reaffirmed by the layer of pollen adorning my car at the end of each work day.

Seasonal allergies occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to irritants such as pollen. In my office I have already begun to see patients who are starting to experience hay fever symptoms.
